STUDENT+POSTINGS


 * **STUDENT NAME** || **OBSERVATIONS** || **STATE A FACT** || **ASK A QUESTION** ||
 * = Mr. Patsch ||= Astronauts are currently preparing for the launch. ||= Astronaut Mark Kelly is the Commander of the Endeavour Space Shuttle. ||= How many astronauts will be on the Endeavour Space Shuttle? ** There will be 6 astronauts on this mission Kelly, Johnson, Chamitoff, Feustel, Fincke, Vittori ** ||
 * = Mrs. Swanger's Class ||= We are watching our crickets eat their food. ||= We were supposed to get our spider today but it looks like she won't arrive until late next week. ||= We are wondering if the spiders in space will have a hard time spinning their web because they'll be floating around in space. We predict it will take twice as long to spin the web. We also are wondering if he will spin his web in the opposite direction than what they do on Earth. ||
 * = Mrs. Perry's Class ||= We watched a cool Bill Nye video on spiders to help us learn how to care for our spider. ||= Our spider is supposed be delivered on Thursday. Tomorrow we are going to build its habitat. In our area of the county, we have two types of poisonous spiders, the black widow and the brown recluse. ||= The class is curious if our spider or the spider in space will lay eggs and if so will they hatch? What types of poisonous spiders are in your area if any becuse we learned out of 35,000 species of spiders only 20 are poisonous. ** New York has the Brown Recluse Spider ** ||
 * = **Miss Davis's Challenge Class** ||=  ||= **Some spiders are completely harmless; however, black widow spiders have venom that is 15 times more poisonous than a rattlesnake.** **Spiders are of the family arachnids.** **The first spiders lived about 370 million years ago and were called arthrolycosa.** **Most orb spiders wait in the middle of their webs night and day for an insect to come into their traps.** **Most common spiders are true spiders; their jaws move from side-to-side. Others, such as taratulas, have jaws that move up and down.** **There are more than 30 000 species of spiders. There could be as many as 90 000 yet to be discovered!** **there are over 10 000 species of orb spiders there are the third largest family of spiders** ||= How many spiders will be sent into space? How will the spiders react to less gravity? Will the spiders survive the journey? How will the spiders react to returning to Earth? There will be several spiders going up just in case they lose some on the launch. ||
 * =  ||=   ||= **Female Orb Spiders can grow up to 10 mm to 20 mm** **The Orb Spider Can live for about twelve Months** **orb spiders lived in the jurassic period** **Some orb spiders don't make webs at all.** **these spiders get thier name from the type of web they build being an orb shape.** **All types are posinous but one** **The Golden Orb Web is not the largest spider, but makes the strongest web. It gets its name from the golden color of its silk.** **It's latin name is Aranus** **Their common name is taken from the round shape of this typicly web, and the taxa is also referred to as the Orbiculariae.** **The males size range from 1mm to 6mm** **The females size is between 10mm and 20mm** **They eat flies** **and small insects.** ||=   ||
 * = Mr. Patsch ||= Saw the shuttle launch this morning. Successful launch!!! ||= A Spiders nest where they keep their eggs is called a "Culdesac". ||= How many days will the astronauts be in space? For about 3 weeks. ||
 * = Mr. Patsch ||= The Spiders seem to be fairly inactive in their new habitats so far. We'll check back soon ||= Scorpions are also in the "Arachnid" family. ||= What affect would zero gravity have on the spiders reproduction rate? ||
 * = jacob ||= Habitat 1 spider's web is neater then habitat 2 spider's web ||= The orb spider's scientific name is Nephila ||=  ||
 * = Meaghan ||= The webs were very messy. ||= Most spiders have 8 eyes. ||= What color are poisonous spiders? They come in all different colors. The golden orb spider (which are the spiders that are in space) produces vemon, but this venom is not lethal to humans. ||
 * = Emma ||= The webs are being made but not propperly. ||= The Orb Weaving Spider has a very strong web with 12 * angles. ||= How many spiders did they bring during the trip? Did any die during the trip? They survived . ||
 * = Casey ||= the spiders are making webs ||= The orb weaving spiders eat fruit flies. ||= What is the most dangerous spider in the world? ||
 * = Esco ||= Habitat 1 pider is currently weaving a web all over. ||= Spider is a fast weaver. Not weaving like it is suppose to. ||= How does the spider weave so fast? Where does the spider get its food? Normally it catches its own food in its web, but for this experiment, the astronauts will be feeding it fruit flys. ||
 * = Janai ||= The astronaut is showing us where they will keep the spiders. ||= Orb Weaving spiders are equipped with cameras and lighting system. ||= When the Spider Weaves its web in space does it make a different from outer space. ||
 * = JAMEEL ||= In habitat 2 the web was neater than habitat 1. ||=  ||= Can spiders reproduce in space? ||
 * = Patrick ||= The Spider can weave webs in space. ||= Not all spiders weave the same kind of webs. ||= What habitat had a neater web Habitat 1 or 2? ||
 * = Nick ||= The spider in habitat 2 had an easier time making the web then the one in habitat 1. ||= Some spiders have hair. ||= How big is the Orb Weaving Spider? ||
 * = Gabrielle ||= It is orbing the web but it is very messy. ||= Insects have 3 body parts 6 legs, arachnids only have two body parts and 8 legs. ||= How long are they going to be in space? About 3 weeks. ||
 * = Samantha ||= The spider started weaving a web. ||= Spiders are arachnids not insects. ||= How long are the orb weaving spiders staying in space? ||
 * = Mackenzie ||= The webs are good but sloppy. ||= This is the second spiuder investigation on the international space station. ||=  ||
 * = Magelyn ||= Very messy web ||= Can't do it as well as on the land. ||= Can they reproduce in space, if there were two spiders? Good question, but this experiment is testing the affect of gravity on their webs. What a great idea though for another experiment. Maybe NASA will do it!! ||
 * = James ||= Habitat 2 is centered and easier to see then hab 1. ||= There are more thean ten main types of animals in the arachnid family. ||= How long does it take to weave a web in space? ||
 * = Tristan || The Spiders are doing a bad job on the web. ||=  || Can an Orb Weaving spider reproduce in Space? ||=   ||=   ||
 * = Rocco ||= The web was different from when it started to the end. ||= A spider has 8 legs. ||=  ||
 * = Talyah ||= The Spider has bugs in its web. ||= Spiders have 8 legs and eat insects. ||= How do the spiders eat the insects? ||
 * = Dani ||= I like the way the web looks like in hab2 ||= the very idea of spiders brings to mind is campy ||= Did any spiders die? No ||
 * = Patrick ||= The webs for both spiders are kind of circular. ||= Some spiders get really big. ||= How small do spiders get? The smallest fully-grown spider in the world is the male of the species Patu digua (which hails from Borneo), which has a body length of just .37mm. That's smaller than the head of a pin! ||
 * = Meraiah ||= The spider in habitat 1 is having a difficult time weaving a proper web. It seems in habitat 2 the spider will be able to weave it's"perfect" web as orb weaving spiders are said to do. ||= In the US they call they call Golden Orb weavers Golden Silk weavers and the black and yellow Argiopea that also. In Australia they are just called Golden Orb weavers. ||= Where on the earth do the Golden Orb Spiders live the most? ||
 * = Felicity ||= a very idea of spiders in space can bring mind campy because spiders have never been in space before ||= spiders webs can be an shape or size || How long are the spiders going to be up in space? ||
